Israel is The Mother of Terrorism
in The Middle East
By: Dr. Elias Akleh*
Israel must renounce
its state terrorism, recognize Palestinian rights to exist
freely and independently in their own state, must abide by all
previous political agreements it struck with the Palestinian
Authority (PA), must adopt all UN resolutions, and must obey all
international laws.
The state of Israel
was established by Zionist terror organizations such as Irgun
(or Etzel), Hagana, and Stern, who used to plant bombs in
crowded Palestinian markets, cafes, shops, and buses. What was
called Israeli military intelligence then had carried out a
bombing campaign in Egypt in 1954, and had hijacked a Syrian
civilian airliner in the same year in order to obtain hostages
to trade for captured Zionist spies.
Even before the
establishment of the Zionist Israeli state, all of its leaders
up to the present had committed savage massacres and war crimes
against innocent unarmed Palestinian civilians; starting with
the massacre of Dir Yasin, Kufr Qasim, Tantura, Sabra and
Shatila, Quana, Jenin, and up to the present genocidal financial
and economical siege and blockade of the whole Palestinian
people. The Geneva Convention defines genocide, among others, as
“acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a
national, ethnical, racial or religious group, including
deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life,
calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or
in part”.
Israeli prime
ministers are the most notorious terrorists. The first Israeli
Prime Minister David Ben Gurion had established the Israeli
state on the total destruction and obliteration of at least 500
Palestinian towns and villages. Menachem Begin, commanded the
terrorist organization Irgun, praised the massacre of Dir Yasin
calling it a “miracle”. Begin’s Irgun had committed many
terrorist attacks against Palestinian and British civilians,
that led Ben Gurion to refer to the Irgun as “Jewish Nazis” and
compared Begin to Hitler. Yitzhak Shamir masterminded the
murder of hundreds of Palestinian and British civilians, and was
responsible for the bombing of King David Hotel in Jerusalem.
His Lehi terrorist gang was responsible for the assassination of
the British minister in the Middle East, Lord Moyne, in Cairo in
November 1944, and the assassination of UN mediator Count Folke
Bernadotte in September 1948.
Yitzhak Rabin carried
the massacres in Palestinian towns of Lud and Ramleh and ordered
his soldiers to break the bones of Palestinian youngsters’ bones
during the Intifada. Ehud Barak orchestrated the assassination
of three Palestinian leaders in Lebanon in 1970. Ariel Sharon,
hailed by Israelis as “king of Israel”, was the most notorious
butcher of them all. His whole career was filled with massacres
of Palestinian, Egyptian, and Lebanese civilians. All the
Israeli Prime Ministers had committed racial and religious
cleansing on a very large scale and this cleansing is still
going on until today.
After the
establishment of the Israeli state on the usurped Palestinian
land all the Zionist terror organizations had united together in
one organization to become the Israeli army. This Israeli army
became a terrorist organization for hire. This was clear when
Israel joined Britain and France in their war against Egypt in
1956 after Egyptian President Naser had nationalized the Suez
Canal. Among the payments Israel received was Dimona nuclear
reactor built by France, and heavy water for nuclear material
from Britain.
Terrorism is embodied
in the Israeli army, who had invaded all the neighboring Arab
states; Egypt, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon. The army committed
many massacres and war crimes murdering unarmed innocent
civilians, demolishing civilian homes, razing agricultural
lands, and indiscriminately bombing and destroying whole Arab
cities.
Within Palestine
itself the Israeli soldiers routinely shoot Palestinian
civilians at point blank. Israeli soldiers deliberately target
Palestinian children. During the Intifada Israeli snipers had
murdered many Palestinian children by shooting them in the head
and in upper torso. Israeli soldiers had systematically targeted
medical ambulances killing the sick, the wounded and even
doctors. They routinely raid Palestinian hospitals and kidnap
wounded Palestinians from the operating tables. Israeli
checkpoints had prevented the sick and pregnant women from
traveling to hospitals in the main cities. At least 20 newborn
infants had died at the checkpoints during birth during the last
three years. Israeli air raids bomb Palestinian neighborhoods
murdering civilians the majority of them children. The latest
air raid Tuesday 6/20 had claimed three children and seven
wounded.
Israeli soldiers,
snipers, and tower guards made it a game to shoot Palestinian
civilians especially children. They shoot at everything that
moves. This has become a normative behavior; we just need to
look at the number of Palestinian children who had been shot in
the head and chest. The incident of an Israeli commander
emptying his machine gun in the dead body of 13-year-old girl
“Iman Alhems”, who was shot while on her way to school, shows
how much Palestinian children had been dehumanized by the
Israeli army. Many Palestinian children had been murdered while
in streets, in their own houses, playing in front of their
homes, and even in their class rooms.
Contrary to the
Zionist propaganda, Israeli soldiers behave like savage
barbarians and common thieves. During their raids on, and while
bulldozing, Palestinian homes Israeli soldiers treat Palestinian
civilians, including children, with avenging savagery and
extreme terror to traumatize the new generation and to instill
the feelings of helpless and worthless in their heart. They
savagely kick the people out of their homes without giving a
chance to collect their belongings. They start smashing
furniture, stealing electrical and electronic equipments, steal
any money and jewelry they find before demolishing the home
while Palestinian families watch with broken hearts. Armed
Israeli soldiers had broken into Palestinians banks and loaded
all Palestinian money on their military truck and drove away in
bright daylight like common thieves.
Even Israeli
civilians carry this terrorist spirit. Many Israeli colonies had
formed what they termed “underground” movements (terrorist
organizations) to allegedly protect the colonies from the
“dangerous” Palestinian farmers. Members of these “underground”
terrorist organizations had committed massacres against
Palestinians. The most famous happened on February 1994 when
Barukh Goldstein from Kahane terrorist organization gunned down
29 praying Muslims in the Ibrahim Mosque in Hebron. Israelis of
“Kiryat Arba” colony, built on confiscated Palestinian land, had
erected a memorial shrine for Goldstein calling him “the saint”.
The Israeli terrorist
“Dennis Ruhan” bombed Al-Aqsa mosque in August 1969 and burnt
part of it, while another terrorist “Allan Goodman” sneaked into
the same mosque with his machine gun in April 1982 and murdered
two praying Palestinians and wounded nine others. “David Bin
Shimoul” fired a missile at a Palestinian bus in October 1984 in
Jerusalem killing one civilian and wounding ten others. In May
1990 “’Ami Pauper” sprayed with his machine gun Palestinian
laborer waiting at a bus stop killing seven and wounding eleven.
“Naom Friedman” opened fire at market goers in Hebron in
February 1997 murdering two and wounding seven. Israeli armed
civilians routinely fire at Palestinians in Hebron, fire-bomb
their homes and shops, and harass children and students. “’Idan
Zadeh” got on a Palestinian bus in the Arab town of “Shefa-‘Amr”
in August 2005 to empty his machine gun murdering four
Palestinians and wounding thirty.
This hatred and
terror is not restricted only in members of Israeli terror
organizations, the rest of the Israeli settlers are also
participating in a campaign of terror against the neighboring
Palestinian villages. Amnesty International had reported that
Israeli security forces and settlers are being allowed to
perpetrate abuses (and crimes) against Palestinians without any
fear of being brought to justice. Under the protection of
Israeli soldiers settlers routinely attack Palestinian farmers,
rob or burn their crops and cut their trees. They poison their
livestock, shoot their animals, and demolish their farm shacks.
They dump their sewage water at Palestinian cities in a germ
warfare to spread diseases. They release wild animals such as
wild bores and wolfs in Palestinian farm land to terrorize
farmers and to destroy their crops. None of these criminal
settlers was ever brought to justice, while when a Palestinian
is merely suspected of standing up against these settlers to
protect his life, the lives of his family members, and his land
he would be arrested and brought to Israeli courts to be harshly
and unjustly sentenced.
Israeli citizens are
raised, since childhood, in a culture of hatred against every
thing Palestinian. Israeli government had adopted a campaign of
hatred against Muslims and Arabs. This campaign starts in their
elementary schools fostering racism, arrogance and hatred. The
Israeli literature is full with demeaning descriptions of Arabs
as robbers, traitors, and sex-craving animals. Zionist Israeli
religious leaders routinely describe Palestinians as insects and
cockroaches to be crushed under the foot. This hatred is
manifested in the aggression of settlers and soldiers, who
proudly show off their hatred with “born to kill” bandanas on
their helmets. Polls had shown that the majority of Israelis
and of Zionist Jews around the world are in favor of expulsion
of the Palestinians from Palestine to “cleanse” their own
promised land from heathens (Muslims and Christians alike).
Israeli state terror
tactics against Palestinians constitute a premeditative
genocide. Since 1948 Zionists had robbed more than half of
Palestine and established their own god’s promised state of
Israel, and in their 1967 aggression war they occupied the rest
of Palestine. Zionist Israelis are the aggressors and the
occupiers, who had, and still are, terrorizing defenseless
armless Palestinian civilian communities. Palestinians have been
living under the brutal terrorizing Israeli occupation for the
last 58 years; the longest military occupation in history.
Israel is driven by a
terrorist, racist, and fake fundamental religious ideology of
“god’s chosen people in god’s Promised Land”. Even before
establishing the state of Israel all Israeli leaders, without
exception, had been calling for the preservation of the pure
Jewish blood in a Jewish only state, a twin ideology of the
Nazi’s pure superior Arian blood.
Although the PLO had
recognized the State of Israel in 1992 Oslo Peace Accord and was
content to establish Palestinian state on only 22% of historical
Palestine, Israel had never recognized Palestinians as a people,
but as a minority represented by the PA. Israel had never
recognized Palestinians’ rights to live as a free nation in
their own independent state, nor recognized the right of
expelled Palestinian refugees to return to their own land as
mandated by UN Resolution 194. Israel had violated tens of UN
resolutions and had broken many international laws.
Israel is not really
interested in any peaceful agreement with its neighboring Arabs.
Contrary to the Israeli claims peace and security are not
Israel’s goals. Its only goal is Zionist expansion and conquest
of the Arab World to build its “Greatest Israel” from Nile to
Euphrates. This is apparent in Israel’s rejection of all
peaceful solutions offered by UN resolutions, Palestinian
agreements, Arab peaceful initiatives, and many Western
intermediary proposals. In contrast Israel had never offered any
peace initiative but unilateral redeployments, threatening
promises, and more colonial expansions.
Israel’s state
terrorism has the advantage of being condoned by US & EU
governments and ignored and distorted by all mainstream media,
while Palestinian self-defense, resistance to Israel’s illegal
occupation, and any retaliation to Israeli terror attacks are
exaggerated and condemned as “terrorism”. All Israeli crimes,
including assassinations, targeting children, razing farm land,
robbing Palestinian land to build their own colonies, house
demolitions, and indiscriminate air bombing of civilian
communities with American made F16 and bombs are described as
self-defense and war against terror, while Palestinians are
portrayed as cold blooded suicide bomber, baby killers, ruthless
terrorists. With all its military might Israel is portrayed as
the victims of the rudimentary Palestinian rockets that, so far,
had killed nobody. Palestinian victims, the majority of which
are children and women, are described as armed terrorists who
are determined to wipe Israelis off the face of earth.
The big myth about
the Zionist Israeli state is that it is a democracy. The truth
of the matter is that Israel is a theocratic terroracracy driven
by dangerous apocalyptic religious beliefs of “god’s chosen
people in god’s promised land”. Its government is influenced by
arrogant, racist, and militaristic religious parties, who pose a
real threat to international peace and security. Israel is
destabilizing the Middle East by its policies of aggression on
Arab neighbors and its “cleansing” of indigenous Palestinians in
an attempt to “preserve pure Jewishness of Israel” much like the
Nazi’s “super Arian blood”. Countries, which support Israel
financially, militarily, politically and economically, are
harboring international state terror and should be condemned
internationally.
